Unicode Version 17.0

𑲣

U+11CA3 "𑲣" Marchen Subjoined Letter Tsha is a glyph used in the Marchen script, an ancient Brahmic writing system primarily employed to write the Zhangzhung language and associated with the Bon religion of Tibet. This specific character represents a subjoined or conjunct form of the letter "Tsha," meaning it is designed to attach to the base of a preceding consonant to form a ligature or complex consonant cluster, typically appearing in syllables where the sound "tsha" is part of a combination rather than as a standalone letter. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard enables digital preservation and accurate rendering of historical Marchen texts, supporting scholarly work in Tibetan and Central Asian linguistics.
